Self-Help Relationships
A provocative manifesto that exposes the harms of helicopter
parenting and sets forth an alternate philosophy for raising
preteens and teens to self-sufficient young adulthood In How to Raise an Adult, Julie Lythcott-Haims draws on
research, on conversations with admissions officers,
educators, and employers, and on her own insights as a
mother and as a student dean to highlight the ways in which
overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents,
and society at large. While empathizing with the parental
hopes and, especially, fears that lead to overhelping,
Lythcott-Haims offers practical alternative strategies that
underline the importance of allowing children to make their
own mistakes and develop the resilience, resourcefulness,
and inner determination necessary for success. Relevant to parents of toddlers as well as of
twentysomethings-and of special value to parents of
teens-this book is a rallying cry for those who wish to
ensure that the next generation can take charge of their own
lives with competence and confidence.
